SpaceX Launch Schedule
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | WorldView Legion 3 & 4
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD August, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
WorldView Legion is a constellation of Earth observation satellites built and operated by Maxar. Constellation is planned to consist of 6 satellites in both polar and mid-inclination orbits, providing 30 cm-class resolution.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 1Falcon 9 Block 5 | GSAT-20
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD August, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
GSAT-20 is an Indian geostationary Ka-band high-throughput communications satellite. GSAT 20 is reportedly built on the I-6K unified modular bus and features a Ka-band high-throughput communications payload with 70 Gbps throughput utilizing multiple spot beams providing broadband services across the Indian region. It will be the first fully Electric Propulsion/EP enabled satellite which can be five to six times more efficient than chemical-based propulsion. It will be the first ISRO made satellite to move from Geostationary transfer orbit to Geosynchronous orbit using Electric Propulsion.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight UnknownFalcon 9 Block 5 | Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission (ASBM)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD August, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ASBM (Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission) 1 & 2 are two twin satellites built by Northrop Grumman for Space Norway, in cooperation with Inmarsat and the Norwegian Ministry of Defence. They are designed to bring mobile broadband coverage in the Arctic for both civilians and military. The US Air Force provides the Extremely High Frequency eXtended Data Rate payloads on ASBM satellites as part of the Enhanced Polar System Recapitalization (EPS-R) program.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Polaris Dawn
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD August, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
First mission of the privately funded Polaris program. The goal of this mission, lasting up to five days in orbit, is to fly higher than previous Dragon missions, perform the first-ever commercial EVA with SpaceX-designed spacesuits, orbit through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt, conduct medical research, and test laser-based Starlink communications in space.
Low Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight UnknownFalcon 9 Block 5 | Galileo L13 (FOC FM26 & FM28)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system. Originally planned for launch on Soyuz-ST and then Ariane 6 but both were unavailable. Galileo provides Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.
